14 - 4 lettuce leaves

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, sliced scallions, dried parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried dill, and two tablespoons of Buffalo wing sauce in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly and form into four equal patties.
02 - Optional: Cover patties and refrigerate for at least one hour to enhance flavor melding and firmness.
03 - Preheat a nonstick grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Cook patties for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 5 minutes until fully cooked through.
04 - In a bowl, combine undressed coleslaw mix with light blue cheese dressing and toss until evenly coated.
05 - Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked patty, drizzle with one teaspoon Buffalo wing sauce, top with 1/4 cup blue cheese coleslaw, and finish with the top bun.

# Extra Tips & Details:

01 - Ground turkey breast may be substituted for chicken breast if preferred. Refrigeration of patties improves firmness during cooking and flavor integration. Use light blue cheese dressing, or a light ranch dressing as an alternative if desired.
